Ed Law 3012-d You should have picked up “APPR information for teachers 6-5-2016” as you came in The purpose of today’s meeting is to provide information regarding the Teacher Performance component of the APPR There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation
The Assumptions of our APPR • overall, all teachers are nothing less than effective • we are professionals and we welcome support from our educational leaders • administrators should focus on the support and success of our non-tenured teachers • opportunity to create a collaborative environment among peers, no matter our job title
Welcome to the Matrix… – – Overall Rating The final rating will be determined using the following matrix. The teacher’s rating for each category is applied to the rubric to determine the overall rating. Matrix Teacher Observation Highly Effective Effective Developing Ineffective (H) (E) (D) (I) Performance H H E D Highly Effective (H) Student H E E D Effective (E) E E D I Developing (D) D* D* I I Ineffective (I) *If a teacher is rated ineffective on the Student Performance category, and a local selected state-designed supplemental assessment was included as an optional subcomponent of the Student Performance category, the teacher must be rated Ineffective overall. � � � � � � � � � SED’s overall rating for their child’s teacher but also the
Teacher Observation Category -Important Vocabulary Lead Evaluator will be defined as the building principal or designee as determined by that building's principal. Formal observation will be defined as an observation that will be a full class period and contain components of the Danielson rubric beyond Domains 2 and 3 Announced observation will be defined as the observation weighted 80% and the teacher must be notified of the week window in which this will occur no later than Friday noon of the week preceding to the observation.
Teacher Observation Category -Important Vocabulary Outside Evaluator will be defined as a trained administrator not linked to the building to which that person is assigned. Informal observation will be defined as an observation of a minimum of 15 minutes but not lasting more than a class period and focus on domains 2 and 3 of the Danielson rubric. Unannounced observation will be defined as the observation weighted 20% and there will be no prior notification to the teacher. The unannounced observation will only include domains 2 and 3 of the Danielson rubric.
Probationary Teachers • Multiple Observations* that will be averaged together for the 80% completed by principals and coordinators/directors. *The number of observations is determined by the probationary year • Multiple Pre-observations will occur in year one and year two. • Tenure year evaluation will mimic tenured Path One. • Please see “APPR for New Teachers”
Long-Term Substitutes, Leave Replacement and Part-time Teachers • Evaluation will mimic tenured Path One. • If you are here for 1 year you will have 2 observations as in Path 1. • If you are here less than 1 year, you should have at least 1 observation. • Please see “APPR for New Teachers”
Choices for Tenured Teachers Path One Path Two Announced Observation Old PGP Announced without pre-observation conference 3 Colleague Minimum 80% • You will receive notification of at least one week; the notification shall be no later than Year 1: Goal setting based on an the preceding Friday at noon. Danielson domains 1, 2, and 3 observable and/or district goals • 2 Informal observations (confirmatory Unannounced Observation walk-throughs): Outside observer and 20% • announced and at least 15 minutes by up to a full period observation of domains 2 & a lead evaluator (80%) and; 3 • unannounced by an outside evaluator (20%) as per the regulations If an observation is a D or I,an Danielson domains 2 & 3 only Action Plan will be collaboratively Year 2: Same as year one developed and an additional Year 3: Return to Path One observation may be conducted by another Evaluator (announced with one week window). Score is *Observations are required by law. averaged with first observation.
What ifs….. I don’t want to continue in path 1 you don’t have to… you can join a different group or move to path 1 Can our group change our “project” ? Yes - your group may change, in fact most will look at bit different as we reflect and tweak our work. As long as our work falls within the focus of the WPCSD, we are fine. You will need to notify your principal
What ifs….. What if I want to join a group in progress? I am not sure, but most likely you will need to form a group of your own since you will be on a different Path 2 cycle. I thought there was a peer review component? There is a peer review component. However, at this time, we have not discussed or planned what the training and expectations will be. You are welcome to visit your colleagues classrooms and that should be worked out in your building.
What ifs….. Are there specific items we must submit to our administrators? Yes - you should let your principal (or designee) know what path your are choosing. For those choosing path 2 - just send 1 email stating the following group members will be working together on path 2 At this time, neither forms nor processes have been finalized. Therefore, it is suggested that all group members keep a log of information such as project, work completed, minutes of meetings and anything else you think is important.
